Charcter Bio - Darth Stryfe was a male Human and a member of the One Sith Order led by Darth Krayt, a Dark Lord of the Sith. Eventually rising to the rank of Sith Lord, Stryfe served Krayt after the deposing of Emperor Roan Fel at the end of the Sith-Imperial War. In the time of the ensuing conflict, he was selected to be Krayt's Fist, the head of the Empire's military. In 137 ABY, Stryfe oversaw a search for Jedi in the academy on the planet Ossus, and ordered its destruction. In that same year, after Krayt's Hands, Darth Nihl and Darth Talon, let former Jedi Cade Skywalker?who Krayt sought for his healing ability?escape the Sith Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant, Stryfe was named Krayt's new Hand to replace Nihl.

The Sith discovered that Skywalker and his companions had attacked an Imperial outpost on the Deep Core world of Had Abbadon, and that among them was the spirit of the ancient Sith Lord Karness Muur. After Muur requested a meeting with Krayt, Stryfe was among those Krayt took with him to Had Abbadon. Discovering they had walked into a trap, the Sith engaged Skywalker and his allies. The Sith were defeated and Stryfe's body was recovered by Krayt's most trusted advisor Darth Wyyrlok, who placed the Human Sith Lord in a bacta tank. Unbeknownst to Stryfe, Wyyrlok had killed Krayt after the battle, deciding that the Dark Lord needed to die in order for Krayt's vision of the Sith to live. Taken to the Sith Temple on the Sith homeworld of Korriban for further healing, Stryfe awoke to discover he could no longer feel his Lord Krayt in his mind, and was convinced his master was dead. However, Wyyrlok convinced Stryfe that Krayt still lived, and explained that he
would be taking control of the Empire while their Lord recovered. Believing the deception, Stryfe swore he would give his support to the Chagrian Sith Lord. Together the two left for Coruscant to secure the throne and implement the next stage in Krayt's plan for a unified galaxy.

After Darth Wyyrlok ordered the execution of the Final Protocol, a plan that saw the oceans of the Mon Calamari homeworld Dac poisoned and all of the inhabitants executed for their support of the commander of the Galactic Alliance Remnant, Admiral Gar Stazi, Stryfe was tasked with overseeing the Sith Empire's Outer Rim Third Fleet for the mission. During Stazi's operation to rescue the inhabitants of Dac, the Third Fleet engaged the Alliance fleet, aiming to ensure the evacuation attempts failed. However, after a fleet from Roan Fel's Empire-in-exile arrived to aid Stazi's forces, Stryfe was forced to withdraw.

Considered to be one of the most brutal of the One Sith, Stryfe focused his energies on brute force. Like most members of the Order, Stryfe's face and visible parts of his body were covered in red and black Sith tattoos. Darth Stryfe was a ruthless and efficient military leader known for his harsh treatment of soldiers of the Empire, who feared him for this reason. Stryfe was considered competent in the eyes of Darth Krayt, who promoted him to Hand because he believed Stryfe to be more reliable than both Darths Nihl and Talon. Stryfe was protective of his Lord Krayt, rushing to Krayt's defense when the the rakghoul-infected Darth Reave attacked his Master, as well as from the hordes of rakghouls during the Battle on Had Abbadon. Stryfe also believed in following Krayt's will to the letter, as seen during the evacuation of Dac when he ordered his forces to focus on the extinction of the Mon Calamari species over the more strategically viable goal of
killing Admiral Stazi. During his duel with Cade Skywalker, Stryfe was angered by Skywalker's taunts, which caused him to lose focus. When he was refused entry to the stasis chamber which was holding Darth Krayt's body, Stryfe showed his arrogance in believing that Saarai was not powerful enough to stop him because she was only an apprentice, not a Darth.

Darth Stryfe wielded a single red-bladed lightsaber, and in combat he was known to attack his enemies with intense, raw power. While he was skilled enough to cut through hordes of rakghouls with ease, Stryfe was unable to defeat Cade Skywalker in a lightsaber duel. Unlike most of the One Sith, who carried coral-like hilts, Stryfe's saber hilt was smooth and metallic. Apart from his skill with a lightsaber, he was also strong in the dark side of the the Force. He was capable of using the Force to telekinetically push his opponents, and like many of the One Sith, Stryfe was proficient in the use of Force lightning, employing it against the rakghouls on Had Abbadon. He was also able to sense the presence of other beings from a great distance, sensing the Jedi hiding on Ossus from a Star Destroyer far above the planet. However, despite his strength in the Force, Stryfe was overpowered by the Sith apprentice Saarai.
